Now it is working, and the solution doesn't make complete sense:
I checked around on the web to see if there awas a Firmware upgrade for
my DVD/CD-RW drive, I didn't find one, but I did find a firmware "hack"
that disabled the region locking on my drive. After applying this, it
can now read my home made DVD-R data disc!?!?
WTF, if anybody can shed some light on this, please let me know (just
for the fact that I would like to know).
It works, I'm happy (albeit a little perplexed).
